View Full Version : Need to call a cgi script on a remote server from my page

I need to have a page load from my website with my header section and then some text. After the text is displayed, I need to automatically call a CGI script that resides on another website. Once called, the script prompts for a username and password, then returns either an error or a graph of usage information.

I very new to PHP and could really use some help with this.

thanks in advance.

Hi, I think that depends on whether the username:password prompt is Basic Authentication ( popup dialogue ) or an html form.
I imagine the visitor to your page should know the login info?
